Hahaha! It’s not all of it but there’s a definite section where the guitar gets a bit heavy and the rhythm choices he’s made just give me that vibe lol!
I think I had the same thought, but it was also giving me Alternative vibes and there was even one song that was reminding me of Battles’ Mirrored and Jimi Hendrix's “Are You Experiened?” at the same time. I think it's just going to take a second to wrap one's head around and I'm here for it.
There’s a few songs in row where there are crunching guitars and almost hip hop beats and he’s kinda shout singing. That combination is prime nu-metal to my ears…
You're not crazy, I hear the nu metal guitar crunch and tempo pretty clearly. Some songs like Fear Of The Dawn give me some heavy GnR vibes. I don't hate it, it's just unsettling a bit.
